Donaldson is not a household name to American golf fans but has made a name for himself overseas and through his major championship performances. Earning his card through the Non-Member FedEx Cup Points List, Donaldson’s finishes of T8 at the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions, T2 at the WGC-Cadillac Championship, T14 at The Masters, T38 at The Players, T37 at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and T24 at the PGA Championship got him enough points to clinch his card. On the European Tour, Donaldson has three career wins, including this year’s D+D REAL Czech Masters. A member of this year’s European Ryder Cup squad, he’s currently third in the Race to Dubai (their version of the FedEx Cup) standings. 12th in scoring average on that tour this year, Donaldson’s success on golf’s biggest stages this year should lead to major success on the PGA Tour next year as well.

2013

Donaldson was a perfect 4-for-4 last season on cuts made. Pretty impressive for a non-member. His best finish came at the PGA Championship where he tied for seventh. Donaldson appears to be anchored overseas, so don't expect a full schedule in the states, but if he continues to play well, his World Golf Ranking will continue to improve and he'll have more opportunities on the PGA TOUR.
